…yet there is madness in it.

Re: Talkin’ ‘Bout My Generation

Saw a great keynote presentation last week which was livestreamed from the American Library Association conference in San Francisco. The speaker, Kim Lear with Bridgeworks Consulting, was talking about generational differences between the Baby Boomer, Gen X, and Millennial generations and how those differences impact libraries and library services.

I thought it was an excellent speech and certainly gave me much to think about. Kim was dead on about the characteristics of my generation, Gen X, when she described as direct and skeptical. I would add “overextended” to that list as well since many people my age have both kids and elderly parents that demand their attention.
